I inspect the whole area using mostly Google Street View, browse the internet for all possible points of interest between the two points (e.g. daily start and finish) and choose the route based on what I want to see, what roads exist in the area and can take me where I want and which of them I prefer based on Street View and internet opinions and suggestions. Then I draw that in RWGPS. So, I take no clues or help from the tool in planning the route, and only want the resulting distance and elevation totals.
This approach is common.

(Yes, you talked about other stuff too.)
